Sifting waste scooper

Abstract

A sifting waste scooper including a rod assembly and a basket assembly is disclosed herein. The rod assembly includes a telescoping rod and a battery. The battery is located at the bottom portion of the telescoping rod. The rod assembly further includes an LED attachment disposed at top portion of the elongated rod. The basket assembly is located the distal top portion of the elongated rod. Furthermore, the basket assembly includes a grated basket having a plurality of holes to allow soil and sand to sift through the basket while collecting waste. The basket assembly further includes a scraper along the outer portion of the grated basket to allow a user to pick up animal waste. The shifting waste scooper allows a user to pick up small objects of waste in soil or sand without having to carry the soil or sand into a waste container.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A system for a sifting waste scooper, comprising:
 a. a rod assembly, including a telescoping rod having a top portion and a bottom portion, wherein said telescoping rod includes cylindrical attachments each having a predetermined diameter, wherein said cylindrical attachments fit inside one another to form said telescoping rod, wherein said telescoping rod is adjustable at said each of said cylindrical attachments, said rod assembly further including a battery disposed on said bottom portion of said telescoping rod, said rod assembly further including an LED attachment disposed on the top portion of said telescoping rod, wherein said LED attachment is a flat circle that is mounted parallel to said lateral exterior of the top portion; and 
 a basket assembly including a basket with a top open portion along a top edge of four lateral walls, said basket includes an entire surface area that is grated, the basket includes a mounting point for said top portion of the rod assembly, wherein said mounting point is located on a lateral wall of said basket. 
 
     
     
       2. The system for a sifting waste scooper of  claim 1 , wherein said grated basket includes four lateral walls extending an equal length outward and perpendicularly with respect to a bottom wall. 
     
     
       3. The system for a sifting waste scooper of  claim 1 , wherein said telescoping rod is cylindrical in shape and extends via concentric rods housed therein to culminate in a top portion. 
     
     
       4. The system for a sifting waste scooper of  claim 1 , wherein said scraper is rectangular in shape and located along an entire top edge of the lateral wall opposite to said mounting point. 
     
     
       5. The system for a sifting waste scooper of  claim 1 , wherein said basket assembly is mounted in constant abutment to the top portion of the telescoping rod along one of the lateral four walls opposite the scraper. 
     
     
       6. A system for a sifting waste scooper, consisting of:
 a. A rod assembly including a telescoping rod, said telescoping rod having a bottom portion and a top portion, the bottom portion of the telescoping rod houses a battery, said bottom portion is cylindrical and extends via concentric rods housed therein to culminate in a top portion, said top portion being cylindrical and wider in diameter than said concentric rods, said top portion also includes a head portion extending circumferentially about a top edge, the top portion includes an LED attachment mounted directly to a lateral exterior of said top portion, wherein said LED attachment is a flat circle that is mounted parallel to said lateral exterior of the top portion; and 
 b. a basket assembly being a hollow box defining a basket, said basket includes a top open portion along a top edge of four lateral walls, said four lateral walls extending an equal length outward and perpendicularly with respect to a bottom wall, said basket includes an entire surface area that is grated, the basket includes a mounting point for said top portion of the rod assembly, wherein said mounting point is located on a lateral wall of said basket, the basket assembly also includes a scraper, said scraper is mounted to a top edge of an opposite lateral wall with respect to said mounting point for the rod assembly, the scraper is rectangular and is attached along an entire top edge of said opposite lateral wall, wherein said scraper includes a continuous and flat distal edge.
